> [@eburacum45](#): > > Those pesky overpopulated dinosaurs, messing with their planet - they deserved everything that happened to them. You misunderstand my post.

> [@BMalion](#): > > Earth abides. Indeed. I wish people would stop saying that we are destroying the planet.

If humans became extinct it would not be long ( in the great scheme of history ) before plants erased every last vestige of humanity other than a few fossils.
